Who knew a showdown between a blue cat and an orange bunny could be this entertaining? Djeco’s Little Match Game is a toddler-sized battle of wits for ages 2½ to 5, where victory comes from matching either the color or the animal on the growing center pile. Play a card, or if you can’t, pass—because your turn will come back around fast in this five-minute frenzy.
The oversized cards are made for small hands, coated for durability, and ready to survive sticky fingers. Short rules mean no endless explaining, just straight into the action. Along the way, your child sharpens color recognition, animal vocabulary, turn-taking, and social skills without realizing it. And yes, it’s just as addictive for grown-ups—so don’t be surprised when “one more game” turns into five.

Product a hit w/5 and 3 yr old grandkids

Recently our special needs granddaughter turned 5 yrs old. I bought her a card game during the Timberdoodle sale. Currently, she and her 3 year old sister enjoy playing it like a memory game. It seems it can be played in various ways, which their parents appreciate.

For the whole family!

It was the only game last year that didn’t exclude our 2 year old. All 5 of us would play and I didn’t even mind it being a non game type of person. This is fun and vibrant.

Little Match was a winner in our kit! I have a 4 year old who loves this. Even my older kids joined in. Such a cute game, with well made thick cards. I recommend and will buy this as a gift for young kids. It's a keeper!

Cute card game
Maria P.
The game cards are high quality, and animals are cute. Unfortunately they smell of strong perfume, like scented diapers, so we don't use it often. I tried to air the cards out, but it seems to be manufactured into the paper. The game play is simple, and would make a good first card game. We already play Uno Junior which is more complex, so this is only pulled out of the closet for variety and a few minutes of play.
